Android多线程任务优化：实现后台预读线程

Android多线程任务优化：实现后台预读线程

上一篇博文我们可以知道，使用AsyncTask有导致应用FC的风险，而且AsyncTask并不能满足我们一些特定的需求。下面我们介绍一种通过模仿AsyncTask的封装方式，实现一个后台预读数据的线程。

描述：在空闲时对获取成本较高的数据（如要读取本地或网络资源）进行预读是提高性能的有效手段。为了给用户带来更好的交互体验，提高响应性，很多网络应用（如新闻阅读类应用）都在启动的时候进行预读，把网络数据缓存到sdcard或者内存中。

下面介绍一个实现预读的例子，打开应用之后会有一个欢迎界面，在打开欢迎界面的同时我们在后台启动预读线程，预读下一个Activity需要显示的数据,预读数据保存到一个静态的Hashmap中。

首先要编写我们的后台预读线程，遵循不重复造轮子的原则，我们对AsyncTask稍作修改就可以满足需求。下面是我们自定义的PreReadTask类代码：

对比AsyncTask我们实际只修改了一个地方

Java代码 
private static final ExecutorService sExecutor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(sThreadFactory);//只有一个工作线程的线程池 


通过Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor，我们把PreReadTask的的线程池设置成只有一个工作线程，并且带有一个无边界的缓冲队列，这一个工作线程以先进先出的顺序不断从缓冲队列中取出并执行任务。

创建完后台预读的线程。我们通过一个例子介绍如何使用这个后台预读线程。

这个例子由两个Activity组成，WelcomeActivity是欢迎界面，在欢迎界面中会停留三秒，在此时我们对数据进行预读,预读成功后保存到一个全局的静态hashmap中。MainActivity是主界面，在主界面中显示一个listview，listview中的图片是模拟从网络获取的，当静态hashmap中存在数据（也就是已经成功预读的数据）的时，从hashmap中取，如果不存在，才从网络获取。


WelcomeActivity.java 欢迎界面，停留三秒，预读数据
Java代码 
package cn.caiwb; 
import android.app.Activity; 
import android.content.Intent; 
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory; 
import android.os.AsyncTask; 
import android.os.Bundle; 
import android.os.Handler; 
import android.widget.Toast; 
 
public class WelcomeActivity extends Activity { 
     
    private Handler handler = new Handler(); 
     
    @Override 
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
        setContentView(R.layout.welcome); 
        for(int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {//预读15张图片 
            ReadImgTask task = new ReadImgTask(); 
            task.execute(String.valueOf(i)); 
        } 
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "PreReading...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() { 
             
            @Override 
            public void run() { 
                startActivity(new Intent(WelcomeActivity.this, MainActivity.class));//启动MainActivity 
                 
                finish(); 
            } 
        }, 3000);//显示三秒钟的欢迎界面 
    } 
     
    class ReadImgTask extends PreReadTask<String, Void, Void> { 
 
        @Override 
        protected Void doInBackground(String... arg0) { 
            try { 
                Thread.sleep(200);//模拟网络延时 
            } catch (InterruptedException e) { 
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block 
                e.printStackTrace(); 
            } 
            Data.putData(arg0[0], BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.icon));//把预读的数据放到hashmap中 
            return null; 
        } 
         
    } 
     
}

Data.java 静态的Hashmap保存预读数据

Java代码 
package cn.caiwb; 
 
import java.util.AbstractMap; 
import java.util.HashMap; 
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap; 
 
public class Data { 
    private static AbstractMap<String, Object> mData = new ConcurrentHashMap<String, Object>(); 
     
    private Data() { 
         
    } 
     
    public static void putData(String key,Object obj) { 
        mData.put(key, obj); 
    } 
     
    public static Object getData(String key) { 
        return mData.get(key); 
    } 
} 



运行结果：





从执行结果可以看到，当进入MainActivity时，listview中的第一屏的图片已经加载好了。

这个简单例子中还不能很好地体现预读带来的用户体验的优势，不过一些应用（如前面提到过的新闻阅读类应用），实现了预读机制，使响应性大大提高，增强了用户体验。

总结：

1、通过实现自定义的AsyncTask来避免AsyncTask引起的FC风险和满足特定的后台异步任务需求

2、实现后台预读可以提高应用的响应性。

3、使用Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()创建只有一个工作队列的线程池来实现预读需求。

注意：

1、预读队列的工作线程可以不止一个，请根据需求配置自己的线程池。

2、adapter的getview()方法中，我们仍然采用了AsyncTask实现异步获取图片，以后我们将探讨更好的解决办法，在提高响应性的同时，避免了AyncTask带来的FC风险

3、预读也要控制成本，存储空间、耗电和流量都是要考虑的因素
